2. Yep - NRA gave him their endorsement months ago.

And he spoke at their convention.

No big surprises there.

He is a bit...wishy-washy on guns, so they are not all that bright either.

"The endorsement comes despite persistent skepticism from conservatives over Trump's sincerity on the Second Amendment, after the candidate shifted from backing an assault weapons ban in 2000 to voicing outspoken opposition to any weapons bans and support for an expansion of gun rights since launching his presidential bid."
